Roald Dahl on Film – 100 years of Roald Dahl

Fans of all ages will be able to relive their most magical memories this year, as Roald Dahl’s films are brought to life on the big screen, here in North Wales.

To celebrate Roald Dahl 100 – the centenary year of Roald Dahl’s birth, TAPE Community Music and Film and Afasic Cymru are participating in a family-friendly film programme that will celebrate the world’s number one storyteller, born in 1916. See below for full details of screenings and activities.

We are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the film with this extra special screening of the family favourite, Matilda. This ‘Scratch ‘n’ Sniff’ event invites the audience to fully immerse themselves, awake the senses and smell along with the movie. Now you can join Matilda as she whips up a batch of pancakes and cheer on Bruce as he struggles with that giant chocolate cake; dive in to the magic of the movies!

We will be working with the school to develop activities and entertainment ahead of the event.
